This study aims to determine the most effective and long-lasting pain relief method for post-operative analgesia in kidney donor and recipient patients in kidney transplantation programme with the least invasive and least drug administration. For this reason, it is planned to perform Quadratus lumborum plane block (QLB) in a group of patients who will be kidney donors and kidney recipients in kidney transplantation and who meet the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status Classification System 1-3 risk classification between the ages of 18-70 years, and to administer intravenous pain medication without block in another group. It is planned to include at least 84 patients in the Quadratus lumborum plan block (QLB) and Intravenous Analgesia group (IVA) without gender discrimination. Postoperative Sedation-Agitation assessment and NRS (numeric pain scale) at 1st hour, 2nd, 6th, 12th and 24th hours, as well as possible side effects such as nausea, vomiting, shoulder pain, respiratory depression, bradycardia and hypotension, total amount of opioid analgesics consumed within 24 hours and duration of hospital stay will be observed and recorded.
